Across 14 districts, 81 percent of respondents stated that their family’s daily food needs are being met. This is a signi cant improvement over the last round of the Food
Security and Livelihood survey (July 2016), in which only 54 percent of respondents felt their daily food needs were being met. Differences in perceived food insecurity were observed among districts, as well as caste/ethnic groups. Gurung and Dalits were the most likely to feel food insecure, with 4 and 31 percent respectively reporting their family’s
daily food needs were not being met. By district, Sindhuli (50 percent) and Kathmandu (39 percent) come out as the most concerned about unmet daily food needs. Those who reported that their daily food needs were not being met were asked what they needed to meet their
needs. The majority of respondents cited working opportunities, new skills, land to farm and access to water. The fact that cash support did not emerge as a priority indicates a strong desire to be self-sufficient.
